Chapter 155: Liu Erlong's Martial Soul Evolution
"Your Highness, I want to follow you," Ning Rongrong pleaded, holding onto Qin Xiao's sleeve pitifully.
"This is causing trouble." Qin Xiao sighed inwardly. But he did indeed promise Ning Fengzhi, so he had no choice but to nod reluctantly. "Alright."
"Yay!" The girl suddenly beamed with joy, her eyes forming crescent moons.
Qin Xiao sternly warned, "Don't be too happy too soon. Let me make it clear upfront, after we leave here, you must obey my orders in everything. Otherwise, I'll leave you on the road."
"Okay okay." Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously. "Rest assured, I'll be obedient. If you ask me to go east, I won't go west. If you ask me to catch a dog, I won't chase a chicken. Even if you want me to warm your bed, I, Ning Rongrong, won't frown."
She said it solemnly.
At first, Qin Xiao nodded along, but when it came to this matter, he shook his head. "Isn't letting you warm the bed too much of a favor?"
Ning Rongrong: "."
The Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Bone Douluo's faces all changed.
"Qin Xiao, I don't like the way you said that," the Sword Douluo said, visibly irritated.
"I don't like it either," the Bone Douluo chimed in.
However.
Before Qin Xiao could say anything, Ning Rongrong immediately straightened her little face. "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, you can't treat Qin Xiao like this. I think he's right. After all, feelings need to be cultivated."
After Ning Rongrong spoke, the scene fell silent.
They say that once a daughter is married, she's like spilled water.
But before anything happened, she's already siding with someone else?
The Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo felt a pang in their hearts.
Qin Xiao, on the other hand, smiled slightly.
Seeing the two of them looking crestfallen was quite amusing.
"Oh, by the way, Rongrong, do you need to pack anything else?"
"Nope!" Ning Rongrong's reply was simple. "Everything is here."
With that, she took out a blank black card and waved it in front of Qin Xiao.
"Since everything is ready, I'll take my leave."
With that, Qin Xiao bid farewell to everyone.
Ning Rongrong also looked serious. "Take care, Your Highness, Senior Sword, Senior Bone. Until we meet again."
Everyone: "."
They really treated themselves as outsiders.
After a while.
Qin Xiao took Ning Rongrong to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.
"Wow, this place is amazing," Ning Rongrong's big eyes were filled with excitement.
She looked around, curious about the surrounding plants.
As she looked, her hands became restless and she was about to touch a bright red flower.
"You can't touch this." Just as she was about to touch the flower, Qin Xiao stopped her.
"Why not?"
"Touching it will cause severe poisoning. After five steps, you'll turn into a puddle of pus and blood."
"Really?"
"You can try it."
"Never mind, I won't try." Ning Rongrong's previous attitude was firm, but she quickly wavered.
Living well, there's no need to seek death, right?
"Your Highness, you're back?"
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing walked over from afar, her face filled with joy.
"I'm back. Zhuqing, go tell Yiran and Dugu Yan to prepare, I'm taking you all somewhere."
"Okay."
Zhu Zhuqing never refused anything Qin Xiao said, even though she had a cold personality.
"Wait, Rongrong, you go prepare with Zhuqing too."
"I..."
Ning Rongrong wanted to say, "I want to stay with you."
But after noticing Qin Xiao's smile, she immediately understood.
No.
She absolutely couldn't give Qin Xiao a reason to leave her behind.
Before long, Qin Xiao came to Dugu Bo.
"How is it? Did you find the guy with the Snake Spear?" Dugu Bo asked.
Qin Xiao nodded. "Found him."
Dugu Bo asked anxiously, "Is his injury serious?"
Chapter 156: Liu Erlong's Martial Soul Evolution
"Severe, the Jade Phospher Serpent poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, with a constant threat to his life," Qin Xiao replied.
"Hahaha, it seems I have the upper hand. Who would dare to ridicule me in the future? I'm a shame among Title Douluo, only able to flaunt my strength against those just below Title Douluo level," Dugu Bo laughed heartily.
Qin Xiao could sense a triumphant air in his words.
But, in the next moment, Dugu Bo's laughter abruptly stopped. "Hey, wait a minute, did you say he's in critical condition?"
"Yes," Qin Xiao affirmed.
"So, you didn't kill that Snake Spear Douluo?" Dugu Bo looked at Qin Xiao with interest. "That's unlike you. Your enemies usually end up dead. How could you spare him?"
"Could it be that you've done so many bad deeds that you've suddenly had an epiphany and decided not to kill anymore, trying to accumulate some virtue?"
"Get lost." Qin Xiao's face darkened instantly. Dugu Bo, this old guy, was still so unkind.
"Do you know what the Snake Spear Douluo's goal is?" Qin Xiao asked Dugu Bo.
"Of course!" Dugu Bo replied without hesitation. "He wants Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran. I refused, and we fought each other to the death. Don't you already know this?"
"Yes, that's true," Qin Xiao nodded slightly. "But he was acting on someone else's orders, wanting to take Zhu Zhuqing and Yiran away to protect them. He even thought you were plotting against Zhu Zhuqing and Yiran."
"What nonsense?" Dugu Bo couldn't lie still anymore, sitting up in shock. "Are you saying that the guy I fought to the death with is actually on our side? He's helping you?"
Dugu Bo's mindset collapsed.
The enemy he had fought to the death with was not an enemy, but an ally?
Such a turnaround was too dramatic, wasn't it?
Remember, if that Snake Spear had been a few inches higher, it would have pierced his heart.
"Although it's absurd, it's the truth," Qin Xiao sighed helplessly. "The silver lining in this misfortune is that you're still alive."
After a moment.
Dugu Bo finally accepted the truth as told by Qin Xiao.
He complained a bit, saying, "Qin Xiao, you little rascal. With such a powerful ally, you didn't even tell me."
"I never thought she would take the initiative to help me take care of Zhu Zhuqing and Yiran," Qin Xiao mentioned, his expression becoming complicated as he thought of Qian Renxue.
He didn't expect that the seemingly aloof woman would have so much on her mind.
Nor did he expect Qian Renxue to hold him in her heart.
Humph.
Dugu Bo still grumbled discontentedly.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. Think about it, you didn't know about their existence, and they didn't know about yours either, right? It's fair," Qin Xiao said.
"This..." After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Dugu Bo was stunned.
This statement seemed to make sense, yet it also seemed unreasonable.
"Alright, stop complaining. From today onwards, you are once again the master of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Qin Xiao said, using his killer move.
"Really!" Dugu Bo's eyes widened suddenly. "But you're still alive."
Qin Xiao:
He was speechless.
"How? Do you have to wait for me to die before you're willing to inherit my legacy?" Qin Xiao retorted irritably.
"No, no." A dry smile appeared on Dugu Bo's face. "Thank you."
"Rest now, I'm leaving."
Qin Xiao waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Thank you."
A sincere voice came from behind Qin Xiao.
In fact, for Qin Xiao, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was no different from a garden.
It was something he could take or leave.
But for Dugu Bo, it was different.
It was full of treasures, practically a sacred place.
After leaving the cave where Dugu Bo was, Qin Xiao didn't go to find Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others. Instead, he went to find Liu Erlong.
At the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qin Xiao found Liu Erlong.
She was standing there, staring into the distance with a vacant expression.
"Miss me?" A voice suddenly sounded in Liu Erlong's ears. She was about to turn around when a strong hand pulled her into a solid embrace.
"Qin Xiao."
Liu Erlong struggled symbolically, then gave up, allowing Qin Xiao to hold her.
"I'm leaving."
After a moment, Qin Xiao spoke slowly.
As his words fell, Qin Xiao could clearly feel the slight trembling of the body in his arms. Then he heard Liu Erlong's soft voice, "Where are you going?"
"To a distant place."
"Can I come with you?"
"Probably not."
Chapter 156: Liu Erlong's Martial Soul Evolution
Qin Xiao shook his head.
The existence of Sea God Island held great significance for him, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran, as soul masters. However, given Liu Erlong's age and cultivation level, even if she went to Sea God Island, she might not necessarily gain significant benefits. So Qin Xiao decided to leave Liu Erlong behind.
"How long will you be gone?" she asked.
"I'm not sure yet, but I'll definitely come back," Qin Xiao replied.
"Okay," Liu Erlong responded softly, her voice betraying her hidden disappointment.
"Haha, don't be so down. I'm not disappearing forever," Qin Xiao chuckled. "If I don't come back, I promise to take you with me."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong finally smiled faintly, but quickly suppressed it, grunting at Qin Xiao, "Hmph, I don't want to go with you anyway."
"Really? Then I won't come back!"
"You dare!" Liu Erlong's expression turned exasperated as she glared at Qin Xiao.
Their eyes met, sparking a silent confrontation.
Qin Xiao slowly lowered his head.
Liu Erlong resisted instinctively, but Qin Xiao's hand restrained her like a vice grip. She seemed to resign herself, closing her eyes.
After a while, their lips parted.
Liu Erlong reminded the fickle Qin Xiao, "Remember what you said."
Qin Xiao extended his hand, making a solemn gesture, "Don't worry, I won't forget. I promise."
"That's good enough." Liu Erlong smiled contentedly. She knew Qin Xiao's heart likely held more than just her.
But having her was enough.
At least, they had each other, which should be satisfying, right?
"Erlong, I have a gift for you," Qin Xiao said mysteriously.
"A gift?" Liu Erlong's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Guess what it is."
"It doesn't matter what it is," Liu Erlong replied with a smile. She didn't care what Qin Xiao gave her; she cared more about his feelings for her.
The next moment, when a snow-white jade crown appeared before her eyes, Liu Erlong's eyes widened in astonishment.
"This, this is..."
She wasn't just attracted by the appearance of the crown; she also felt a mysterious power calling out to her.
In an instant, she felt the urge to get closer.
"A gift for you," Qin Xiao smiled faintly, not immediately explaining the origin of the item.
"But this thing is too precious," Liu Erlong said. She wasn't stupid; based on that momentary feeling, she knew this was definitely not an ordinary item.
Qin Xiao directly placed the Snow Jade Crown in Liu Erlong's hands, "Besides you, no one else is worthy of this crown."
He spoke the truth.
Although the lingering will of the Light Sacred Dragon within the crown had been erased by Qin Xiao, there was still residual power.
That power, only those with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline could absorb.
More importantly, only those with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul could use the power of the True Dragon Nine Crowns. This was a hardware condition.
Even someone as powerful as Qin Xiao couldn't forcibly control it.
As for giving it to someone outside of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, Qin Xiao had no intention of doing so.
When Yu Yuanzhen nearly killed Qin Xiao with the power of the True Dragon Nine Crowns, even if Qin Xiao had destroyed or abandoned the True Dragon Nine Crowns, he would never give them to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan.
"Buzz."
When Liu Erlong held the Snow Jade Crown, it triggered a phenomenon.
Golden ripples erupted from the crown.
Gradually, an illusory Light Sacred Dragon, over a foot long, appeared and hovered around Liu Erlong's body.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao felt relieved, "It's almost as I imagined. The residual soul of the Light Sacred Dragon is beginning to test you, Erlong."
However, the process was not smooth.
Qin Xiao speculated that this was likely because Liu Erlong didn't have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul but a mutated Fire Dragon, resulting in insufficient bloodline purity.
Even without its own will, it would still act on instinct.
"Hmph, you're being picky. Do you still have a choice?" Qin Xiao's tone turned cold suddenly, and at the same time, a tangible killing intent emanated from him.
It seemed like he was ready to destroy her at a moment's notice.
In contrast, the residual soul of the Light Sacred Dragon trembled abruptly, sensing the imminent threat of destruction.
Rather than facing destruction in vain, it was better to choose the person in front of it, whose bloodline was not very pure.
Immediately, the residual soul of the Light Sacred Dragon made a decision and no longer hesitated. It spiraled and drilled into Liu Erlong's forehead.
Boom!
In the next moment, Liu Erlong's body erupted with a powerful soul force pressure.
An illusory Fire Dragon emerged from behind Liu Erlong, and the air around her became hot.
However, Qin Xiao knew that this was just the beginning.
"I wonder if the residual soul power of the Light Sacred Dragon can evolve Erlong's Martial Soul to the level of the Light Sacred Dragon like Yu Yuanzhen did with the True Dragon Nine Crowns," Qin Xiao's eyes were full of anticipation.
